Very good looking shoe that is true to size and width. I have two pairs of Johnson & Murphy desert boots that I prefer due to the padded insoles...pure heaven to walk in them! Alas, not available in black. These have a more Spartan construction that I am going to add an aftermarket insole to. Still, I'm happy with the purchase as they look great.

We had to wear these while I was in the USAF (1973 - 1980). My ankles took months to recover. Damaged a lot of feet. I know many of my fellow veterans that had to have foot and ankle surgery from wearing these boots during training and in the field. Why sell a product that does damage to your body?

I'm a little disappointed. The shoes are comfortable and fit well, but they look a little bland compared to the photo. The leather is very smooth and black, so unless you cuff your pants you look like you're wearing galoshes or firefighter boots or something. I tried adding red laces to give it a little more visual interest, but that hasn't seemed to work either.

I bought these for my son, a freshman in high school, because he loves the "retro" look. He LOVES them! They are very comfortable and stylish. He wears them every day. Just today, he told me that two girls stopped him and said, "awesome desert boots!"

I really love the look of these shoes as they remind me of years gone by! Unfortunately they are for younger feet! I am 50 and I found them to be way to flat and unsupported, even after buying inserts for them I had to stop wearing them. Also the suede looks dingy pretty quickly, especially if they encounter water. If you can get a leather surface that's better.

Terrible product in my opinion; one shoe (right) feels way larger than left, so much so it's hard to believe that there's any chance that both are 9.5s. Unfortunately, I wore them to work for a day before I was able to realize that the right is much too large and it feels like my right heel wants to bust through the back because the shoe is too large, my heel is slipping to the back, and the boot doesn't offer enough support in the heel. But for the return policy (i.e., that worn shoes cannot be returned), I would be sending these back in favor of another brand.

Love! I ordered these desert boots in navy blue suede and absolutely love the color/style. I called the Clark's store down the road and the lady on the phone said, "No. We don't have navy blue. I've never even seen this boot in navy blue." She wasn't friendly at all (which is not altogether surprising here in New Jersey). My mood turned upside down when I realized that Zappos had this shoe in navy blue suede and cheaper than the store price for the other colors. Superbly comfortable boot. They look fantastic with my camel/acorn/khaki colored pants. I'm sure you'll be able to coordinate the black version with more outfits, but I needed something to wear with my navy blue shirts for a more polished look without wearing dress shoes. The boots feel very solid and sturdy. The leather is durable and the opening is wide to the point that I'm not required to tie and untie the laces every time I wear them. Perfect boot in my opinion!

This might actually be my favorite pair of shoes ever. They're comfortable, go well with both casual and dressier clothes and, most importantly, they just look great on. They're not too clunky, too pointy, too square-toed just a great pair of shoes. I took the advice of the other reviewers and got a 1/2-size smaller than I usually get. It was good advice. Although I am a true 9 1/2, in sneakers and other shoes I usually take a 10 because my feet are wide. I got the 9 .5 and they fit perfectly. My only reason for not giving 5 stars across the board is the laces do feel a bit flimsy. Doesn't feel like they'll go more than a couple of months before one rips off in my hand tying it. Shoelaces are easy to come by and would not let that deter me from buying these again in the future. I really really love them!

These Desert Boots are probably my all time favorite boots now. They looked a little weird and "hippyish" when I first saw them but seeing all those positive reviews just made me HAVE to try a pair. To say I love them would be an understatement.
They are without a doubt the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. I LOVE putting them on. Feels like I'm walking on marshmallows. They do run big but it just makes it easier to slip on an off!
I first bought the black pair (which has top quality leather) and just came back two weeks later for the burgundy leather pair. A girl lastnight said I have a sexy James Dean look to me, and I blamed it on my black boots and black leather jacket.
Anyway, if you're still on the fence by now maybe you should just forget about it and go get some second hand jungle boots. (BTW these boots are VERY easy to keep clean . . . just take a wet rag and wipe down the leather. They'll look brand spankin. Voila, no polish required.

I wear a 10.5 but I ordered a half size down a per other reviews, and it was definitely the way to go. The heel feels a bit snug but I think it's just the style. These don't have any arch support so I might add insoles. They look really great and will definitely be a staple. I ordered the dark grey suede but it really looks more like a dark greyish brown, which is fine because it will go with everything.

I ordered these in a size 12 because that is what I am in every other shoe and Zappos says they are true to size. They are not though, they are a half size larger and of course Clarks does not make half sizes or at least a size 11.5. I am giving these shoes a awful score of one star because I can't ever wear these because they don't meet my needs offering a size that works for me which is really disappointing since I like everything else about them. So if you are a true size 12, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but at least you wont have to be let down twice ordering a 12 and then a 11, having both not work out.

Love these shoes. Purchased them for my 28 year old brother and he is a big fan; says they are very comfortable. The color is very rich. He wears a consistent 10.5 and we had to exchange for the 9.5 b/c they were one whole size too big.

These shoes are amazing. They make any outfit look incredibly classy. However, if you are looking for arch support, these are not for you. They are flat as anything and have pretty much no support, but I usually wear flip-flops so that does not bother me.

Great product, I purchased this shoe based on the reviews from Zappos. There is plenty of color combinations available, and the build quality is really top notch. This is my first pair of Clarks, but it definitely won't be the last. I'm usually a 10.5, and purchased a 10 based on the feedback from everyone.

A stylish boot you're sure to enjoy. I purchased the grey color version. It may sound far fetched, but I receive lots of compliments on them. The boots are very cool. For wet weather, the sole makes it an ideal choice over your leather soled shoes. My foot is wide, but these 'medium' width boots appear to have been built on a generously wide last.
